Burger World (Beavis and Butt-Head)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burger World is a fictional fast food restaurant chain featured in the MTV series Beavis and Butt-head. An advertisement for the chain proclaims Burger World as serving "food that's purty good". The company logo featured on the exterior sign is an obvious parody of McDonald's, and is similar to the WcDonald's parody that often appears in anime. A Burger World logo used inside the restaurant (with the letters BW inside a hamburger bun) also bears a resemblance to the classic Burger King logo.
A franchise of the chain is the part-time employer of Beavis and Butt-head, and the first mention of Burger World occurs in the episode Customers Suck. Beavis and Butt-head usually assume grill and drive-thru/front register duties. The duo are completely incompetent in their duties, often incapable of performing even the easiest of duties required for their job including taking a customer's order. Instead of focusing on their work, the duo engage in hijinks including frying worms in the fry vat, cooking rats and bugs (which were later served to Mr. Anderson), and throwing food at the store's ceiling fans. Their antics have caused the franchise to be closed by the local health department on at least one occasion. Usually, the restaurant is empty, implying the two have managed to drive away many customers.
The episode It's a Miserable Life from the Beavis and Butt-Head Christmas Special, depicted an alternate future in which Butt-Head had never been born. As a result of this change, Burger World's business is booming and it even has a playground (something that was never there before).
Aside from their unnamed manager, Beavis and Butt-head are apparently the only employees of the restaurant featured on the show.
A compilation of episodes featuring Burger World was released in 1996 as Beavis And Butt-head - Work Sucks.
Burger World is also the name of a small chain of hamburger restaurants located in Ontario, Canada.
In UHF, Weird Al Yankovic’s character works at a Burger World. In the DVD commentary, Weird Al states the Mike Judge was a fan of the film and used Burger World as a tribute to UHF.
